As Mr. Yan and Yan Nansheng walked to the entrance of the village, they saw several children surrounding their cousin and his servant.

Seeing the boy scratching his head anxiously, I felt warm inside for some reason.

Just like my granddaughter said, sincerity will always be rewarded with sincerity.

I had just shown a little bit of my sincerity, and I received the support of the whole village.

Perhaps we should take public opinion more seriously.

Xu Yanchang was getting a little anxious waiting. As soon as he turned around, he saw several figures walking towards him from a distance.

When I got closer, I recognized that he was my cousin.

Over the past twenty years, the two brothers have grown from young men full of vigor and vitality to grandfathers with many children and grandchildren.

It's been twenty years since we last met!

I saw that my cousin’s hair was already half white and he looked more like my brother than I did.

He no longer has the confidence and boldness of his youth, and his eyes are filled with fatigue from having experienced many vicissitudes of life.

It shows how much suffering he endured during those years of exile!

I remembered what my cousin said in his letter, about my nephews...

Seeing my nephew sitting in the wheelchair described in my cousin’s letter.

Xu Yanchang's nose felt sore and his eyes were red.

"Ah Xun, I'm here."

All the way, Old Man Yan was imagining what his cousin looked like now.

But after racking my brains, I found that I could hardly remember what my cousin looked like.

It was not until the moment my cousin turned around that all my childhood memories became clear.

Old Master Yan was so excited that he almost cried, and his hands hanging by his side were trembling slightly.

The corners of his mouth were slightly open, but tightly pursed.

He took a deep breath before responding.

"Brother Chang, I have finally waited for this day."

"I thought...I thought I would never see you again in this life."

I felt my grandfather's strong emotions beside me and saw the tears in his eyes.

Yan Nansheng felt very uncomfortable.

More than 20 years ago, my grandfather's family was exiled here and cut off contact with his maternal family.

Over the years, I have seen my father, mother, and many other relatives pass away.

They even got married and had children here.

They are usually the pillars of the family and the backbone of the tribe.

But today, when I met relatives whom I hadn't seen for many years, I realized that my grandfather also had his weak moments and was also a child who needed care from his elders.

Just one sentence: "Axun, here I come." My grandfather has been waiting for twenty years!

Seeing that the elders were all too excited, Yan Nansheng quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Yan Nansheng from the Yan family greets his great-uncle."

"My cousin must be tired after the long journey. It won't be too late for us to go home and rest for a while."

The second son of the Yan family also bowed, "Uncle, I am Yan Yuzhi, the second son in the family. My mother has prepared some light wine, I hope you don't mind."

Both sides calmed down while talking.

Only then did Xu Yanchang have time to look at the little prodigy of the Yan family whom Axun mentioned in every letter.

Well, he looks white and plump, very pleasing.

At the age of five, he has so many brilliant ideas.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young genius.

Xu Yanchang nodded with satisfaction, and the group turned and headed towards the Yan family.

After everyone from the Yan family left, the women behind them also got up and went home to cook.

Only a few children were left, chasing and playing carefree.

When Mr. Yan and his party arrived home, the women in the family had also returned from the fields.

The family had a simple meal at noon and then arranged for Mr. Xu and his servant to rest.

When Mr. Xu had rested in the afternoon, the branch of the Yan family was already waiting in the yard.

When Mr. Xu heard some noise in the house, he pushed the door open and reported to Mr. Xu that a branch of the Yan family had come to pay their respects.

When Mr. Xu pushed the door open, he saw Mr. Yan Wu and a few boys waiting in the yard.

Seeing Master Xu coming out, several people hurried forward to greet him, "Master Xu, how are you? I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder if everything is going well at home?"

Mr. Xu quickly waved his hand and asked them to sit down.

They asked about each other's well-being.

In the past, when the Yan family was still in exile, Master Xu reminded Master Yan to discipline his illegitimate sons more and not let them get ahead of him, as this would cause chaos in the family.

Looking back now, things have changed and the spirit I had back then is no longer there.

The people of the Yan family's side branches also had few descendants, leaving only the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Ugh……

The people from the Yan family's side branch asked about Yan Nansheng's well-being and then left. Old Man Yan and his companions then went to Yan Nansheng's room and sat down.

Only then did Mr. Xu remember that he had come here for important business.

I think of the potato dishes I ate at lunch, and feel that I am not hungry yet.

Mr. Xu became excited again.

"Ah Xun, please tell me, is the yield of potatoes really as high as you said in your letter, up to 50 dan per mu?"

"Brother Chang, don't get excited. You are still so naive at your age..."

"You old man are still talking about me. I don't believe you didn't lose your composure when you found out about this."

"I don't need to say much about what a great achievement this is, right?"

"The situation in the capital is tense right now. The emperor has six sons, five of whom have reached adulthood."

"It's been so many years since the Yan family's incident, and the Yan family has also been restored to good citizen status due to the general amnesty. As long as there is an opportunity, the Yan family, the Yan family can return to the capital!"

"at the moment……"

"Brother Chang, now is not a good time." Old Master Yan interrupted Old Master Xu's fantasy.

"The old generation of the Yan family now only has me and the fifth brother left, and the younger generation... no longer has the ability to earn any more money."

Old Master Yan looked at Yan Nansheng and said, "My grandchildren...are mostly young children..."

"Even if we return to Kyoto, that turbulent place, there won't be enough for others to take a few bites."

Yan Nansheng sat obediently on the side pouring tea for the elders. Noticing his grandfather's gaze, he gave him a reassuring look in return.

Yes, the capital is a den of tigers and wolves. How could my cousin and his family of old, weak, women and children be a match for those people?

Sheng'er is a good kid, but he is still young after all...

There are no outstanding talents among the side branches.

"Just wait a little longer..."

Mr. Xu nodded helplessly.

It can only be this way.

Yan Nan waited obediently for the elders to finish speaking before he spoke.

"Uncle, it's a good thing that you're here. I have an idea that I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

"Oh? Do you have any new ideas?" It was rare for Grandpa Xu to meet a younger generation who was so pleasing to the eye and so smart and well-behaved.

This boy Axun is blessed in his later years, as his family has such an outstanding grandchild.

Thinking of those in his own family, Mr. Xu shook his head secretly.

Let’s not talk about it…

Yan Nansheng straightened his sitting posture and said, "It's not a new idea. I just want to ask my cousin for a favor."

Seeing that the little guy had a serious face, like a little adult, Mr. Xu put away his intention of teasing him.

"What do you think."

Yan Nansheng glanced at his grandfather, then met Old Master Xu's gaze, "I want to open a clan school."
